The biggest issue has to do with WHY you want to marry.
For two people in love and not just romantically attached or lusting after each other, nothing else is important. Levels of education can change, so can tastes in music or what to do with leisure time.
There are as many divorces ending the marriages of two people the same age from the same background, education levels and localities as there are for a couples who differ in age by ten years, have totally different backgrounds and educational goals.
Having common interests and honest communication is far more important. Remember that college educated women are far newer than marriage. Only one hundred years ago college educated men seldom married women with more than a high school education.
If the couple is in love (and I do mean Love), then it does not matter if she is a brain surgeon and he is a grave digger or if he is a professor and she is a housewife who dropped out of high school.
Similar levels of education might only make socializing with other couples easier.

I don't think it's important but it would make everything easier. I think you should finish school before you get married because getting married can put strain on your education even if you're both in the same level. If you're in college and in different years then it's going to be hard being married. One will graduate and the other one will still be paying for classes. This can hurt your marriage financially. But if you think you can work out the financial situations then it really doesn't matter.

I would not marry her now because going into the military will put a tremendous strain on your marriage with the possibility of being apart for many months at a time. Especially if she has a child by another man. If you marry her then there is the chance that you will be gone for long stretches at a time and she could become lonesome and find comfort with someone else. That would ruin your marriage. I would continue to see her and wait until the military obligation is over before getting married. If she can't wait for you then she wouldn't have waited if you were married.

My wife has 2 bachelor's and 1 masters. I never finished college. However, we are both well read & equally intelligent. That's what matters. Love only lasts so long when you're talking to a box of rocks.

I see too much successfully couples with different level of education. Who knows, maybe Sigmund Freud is right, I see too much divorces because sexually inappropriately. When I was yang, I tough Love and tolerance can solve that problem, but now...

Not at all. Unless you are uncomfortable with it. If it bugs you that your spouse is more educated (or less), then you should talk about it. But it shouldn't matter!

no as one person can help another and your parter (if that is what you were thinking) will appreciate you for that.
